The Gray Goose

The Gray Goose
Well, las' Monday mornin',
Lawd, Lawd, Lawd,
Well, las' Monday mornin',
Lawd, Lawd, Lawd.
My daddy went a-huntin'.
Well, he carried along his zulu.
Well, along come a grey goose.
Well, he throwed it to his shoulder,
An' he ram his hammer' way back.
Well, he pulled on de trigger.
Well, down he come a-windin'.
He was six weeks a-fallin'.
He was six weeks a-findin'.
An' he put him on de wagon,
An'he taken him to de white house.
He was six weeks a-pickin'.
Lordy, your wife an'my wife,
Oh, dey give a feather pickin'.
An' dey put him on to parboil.
He was six months a-parboil',
An' dey put him on de table,
Now, de fork couldn' stick him,
An' de knife couldn't cut him.
An' dey throwed him in de hog-pen,
An' he broke de ol'sow's jaw-bone.
An' dey taken him to de saw-mill,
An' he broke de saw's teeth out.
An' de las' time I seed him,
Well, he's flyin' across de ocean,
Wid a long string o' goslin's,
An' dey all goin': Quank Quink-Quank,
From singing of Leadbelly
